Newcomer to Linux
I am a newcomer to Linux. Wants to learn. Down loaded all the files. Read
everything many times and tried to install several times. Spend about 70 hours
so far but failed to understand where it is going wrong. I will be thankful
for any help. I have a Pentium 166 with 32MB memory with 2.1 HD. I have with
fdisk partitioned an extented.logical drive with 894 mb. with resc1440.bin
when I boot it goes on with many information on the screen and finally comes
to boot: on enter it goes for installation and after checking for the keyboard
wants for partitioning the hard drive. I tried various things lime trying with
delete, new, etc. Tried with boot, primary to logical and everything. Finally
it gets struck on Write to disk the table and I have to switch the machine to
get out. I also tried to get all the files to the logical drive which is E for
me and tried to do that way (floopyless installation) and failed to know how
to boot from E. May be I did not understand all that is necessary to install.
I want someone to help me out of this. Thanks again. Bye.
